Positive Singles Review – Always Stay Positive

PositiveSingles.com bills itself as the number 1 Herpes and STD dating site and a quick Google search seems to support this as it shows up consistently near the top of any search query. It’s easy to use and you can test drive the site with a free membership, but access to its more important features, such as messaging and email, will require a subscription.

Member Base

According to investigation done by positivesingles.com, the distribution of people suffering from a range of STDs look like:

Age: 18-24, there are 23.98%
Age: 25-34, there are 29.69%
Age: 35-44 there are 31.57%
Age: 45-54, there are 4.41%
Age: 55-64, there are 1.55%
Age: 65+, there are 8.80%

The sign up process for PositiveSingles is quick and easy. The site asks you for such basic information as name, age, gender, what sex you are looking to match up with, and what type of disease you live with. The only restriction on age is that you have to be over 18. Once you sign up you also gain access to a lot of great tools to help you deal with living with your condition and there’s a great blog and forum to help you feel your way around the site as well.

There are two essential search options you can choose from with PositiveSingles.com, you can go with the quick search option or an advanced search. The quick search option is probably the best way to go when you’re first getting started – with this option you can choose the gender of the person you’re looking for, the age range you think is appropriate, the region of your country you’d like to find a match in, and a few other keywords of your choice. The site will then provide you with an extensive list of matches based on your search criteria. The advanced search builds on these options by allowing you to specify more characteristics about your potential mate and it will even let you save your searches to come back to them later, but this option is only available to Gold members.

Other Great Features

A free membership, in addition to allowing you to set up your basic profile, will allow you to search available matches, check out the details of their profiles, and it will let you send winks to express your interest in another member.

With a Gold membership you can actually send emails and instant messages to potential matches, you’ll gain full mobile access, have access to an online STD counselor, and a whole host of other benefits. A Gold membership will cost you $29.95 per month if you sign up 1 month at a time, $19.95 if you sign up for 3 months, and $15.95 per month if you go with a 6 month membership. You can pay for your membership by credit card, using your PayPal account, or by money order.

Positive Singles does take your security very seriously. As a Gold member you’ll be able to differentiate between verified members who have confirmed their profile and curiosity seekers. The site also allows you to control who can actually view your profile – you can restrict views to those you deem as your favorites, restrict to one gender or the other, and/or you can restrict those who can view you based on the STD they live with.
